Chapter 10: Roxas Knew.

"I will conquer this darkness…all by myself." - Riku, Kingdom Heart II


If one thing Riku did not like the most in the world, it would be losing Sora or being rejected from the brunet. Second would be the fact that Roxas wanted to have a private talk with him, without the presence of his best friend or maybe the nobody's boyfriend, Axel.

Riku didn't know but whenever he looked at Roxas, he reminded him of Sora. Even when he was first battling with the blonde, the blonde reminded him of Sora. They both looked alike except their attitude where Sora much cheerful but skinnier than the blonde. Their similarity in appearance was also the reason why he loses at the first strike.

He was afraid of attacking the blonde because he was afraid he might hurt him, meaning when he imagined him of being Sora, he was afraid he might hurt Sora. He didn't want to hurt Sora anymore especially after many times he did three years ago.

"Riku." The blonde's voice snapped him from his past's thought.

"Yes?" Riku crossed his arms. He was startled when Roxas drew out his Oblivion and attacked him all of sudden. "What the fuck!" Riku quickly parried the attack using his dark Keyblade. He pushed Roxas who nicely flipped backwards and landed safely. He quirked his eyebrow when Roxas's Keyblade gone in a flash. "What the hell do you think you're doing!"

"That's for trying to kiss me last time," Roxas said. Riku blinked before he blushed red.

"H-How-"

"I'm not an idiot, Riku," Roxas said. He stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"How do you know?" Riku asked. Roxas leaned against the wall then looked up at the clear blue sky.

"You're too obvious," Roxas said. Riku frowned. "Been noticing it since the last battle. Your aura were surrounded with lust when you battled with me."

"I'm not lusting over you," Riku said.

"I know," Roxas said. Riku quirked his eyebrow. "You were lusting over my human." Riku frowned. His Keyblade gone in a flash and he stuffed his hands into his pocket as he glared deadly at the blonde before him. "Why haven't you told him?"

"I don't want to," replied Riku. He walked towards Roxas then leaned against the wall next to him. Instead of looking up at the sky like Roxas did, he looked down at the floor before he closed his eyes.

"Afraid?" Roxas smirked. Riku snorted. "Riku," Roxas turned to look at the young man next to him. He watched as Riku slowly opened his eyes before the young man glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. "I like you," Roxas said. Riku's eyes widened.

"W-What the hell are you saying?" Riku's face flushed. Roxas smirked.

"Idiot. I'm not in love with you," Roxas said. He pulled himself from the wall and ran his hand over his blonde hair. "I just like you and you know what it means."

"…?" Riku arched his eyebrow. Roxas groaned.

"I still can't believe Sora likes you," Roxas said.

"W-What?" Riku shocked.

"Sora likes you," Roxas said. Riku's mouth wide opened. "Don't ask me whether he told me that or not. I just know. I like you meaning that Sora also like you."

"How can you be so sure?" Riku asked, frowning. "Who knows maybe you is just trying to make fun of me."

"Idiot," Roxas said. Riku frowned. "Axel told me human and Nobody are connected in term of feelings and thought. So I like you, which mean Sora also like you."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…Well?" Roxas quirked his eyebrow. Riku frowned.

"What? You expect me to jump in joy right here in front of you?" Riku said. Roxas smirked.

"Well, I would love to but it wouldn't be a pretty sight to me," Roxas said. Riku groaned. "Anyway, you might as well tell Sora someday," Roxas said. Riku stayed silent. "And by the way Riku." Riku looked at the blonde. "I never really like Kairi and Namine. I like Axel," Roxas said before he left.

Riku stared at where Roxas said the words that enough to make him happy before he looked at the sky. One could see a smile slowly crept over his face as he thought of that possibility he'll be able to claim Sora someday. Of the possibility Sora might loved him someday.

Of possibility he and Sora would be couple someday.


He woke up at dizziness in his head. He opened his eyes and it took him a few seconds for him to remember where he was and why he was at the place and a few minutes for him to wonder why he was on the bed. Ignoring the pain in his head, he sat up and blinked as he looked around the house he currently stayed in.

"Oh! You're awake!" He turned to the owner of the voice who was none other than the ever so energetic ninja Yuffie.

"Goodness. How are you feeling, Sora?" Arieth asked as she placed her hand on his forehead.

"Just dizzy," replied Sora. He looked around the house again.

"Riku's outside with Roxas," said Axel. The brunet looked at him in curiosity. "Chatting."

"Oh…" Sora nodded.

"So, mind telling us what had happened to you?" Axel asked. Sora blinked.

"Huh?"

"Riku found you fainted outside of the house," said Arieth. "Did someone attack you?" she asked. Sora blinked again until he finally remembered what had happened to him that made him lying on the bed.

"Oh yes! Someone, no I mean Sephiroth and this guy appeared in front of me all of sudden!" exclaimed Sora.

"Sephiroth?" Cloud's face darkened.

"Yes! He's with this man in black spiky hair like Axel!"

"Huh?" Axel arched his eyebrow.

"Someone with black hair like Axel's?" Yuffie quirked her eyebrow as she stared at Axel. Cloud frowned.

"You mean Zack?" Cloud asked. Sora's eyes widened.

"How do you know that!" Sora shrieked.

"Zack has black hair like Axel," said Cloud. "So he's with Sephiroth, huh?" Sora nodded. "What did he do to you?" Cloud asked.

"Hmm…I think they wanted something…but I can't remember…" Sora said, furrowing his eyebrows. He clutched his head when he felt unbearable pain buzzing at the back of his head. "Ugh…"

At this moment too, Roxas entered the house followed by Riku. When the latter young man saw Sora's had already awakened and was clutching his head, he quickly rushed to the brunet and glanced at his best friend in worry and concern.

"Sora?" Riku reached for Sora's hand.

"H-Hmm?" Sora blinked at his best friend and a cute smile crept over his smile. "R-Riku. Where have you been?" Sora asked. Riku didn't answer the question; instead he rubbed the back of Sora's hand and squeezed it firmly.

"How are you feeling?" Riku asked somehow.

"Just dizzy," replied Sora.

"Who attacked you?" Riku asked, his tone was deep and somehow dangerous. Sora stared at his best friend, sensing something from the young man's body. Like anger.

"Um…Zack," replied Sora. Riku quirked his eyebrow.

"The dancing bone?" Riku asked. Sora chuckled softly.

"Not Jack Skeleton, Riku. Zack of…ugh…"

"Soldier," said Cloud. Riku looked at the blonde. "Zack from Soldier."

"You know the person who attacked Sora?" Riku's voice deepened.

"He's my friend."
